Bracken Ground Reviews

Ashwin
All was great. Remoteness was bit awkward, but we managed! WiFi was good in the lounge but poor in rest of the proprity.
Nicola
Fanatic stay, would highly recommend, could benefit from different heating settings within the bathrooms as these were cold in the mornings one of the showers was not working at all, but this didnt really effect us as there was only me and my husband staying at the property. Hot tub maintenance impressive with 3 checks within a 7day stay, sauna good, could potentially do with fenced in closed in area to stop any incidents with the pond, we used some outside patio chairs by the kitchen doors to prohibit the dogs going on the grass mud or the pond, To help keep the place clean.tv signal in the master bedroom did not work, but we did bring an Amazon tv stick which solved this. We also bought 7 blankets, rugs and throws to keep floors and sofas clean. Overwhelming food package on arrival, this was a lovely touch, could also not fault the amount of kitchen equipment available for everything you could possibly need for your stay. Nice daily visit from the local sheep
We loved our stay at Bracken Ground, it was made more special by the Christmas tree and decorations, the tree was amazing. The whole place was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a luxury Christmas break. for information the seal on the shower screen in the bathroom near the kitchen may need replacing as the water leaks over the bath when showering
Lovely location and absolutely fabulous property! Very spacious and well equipped accommodation with everything you could possibly need. Sauna and hot tub a luxury addition. Quality welcome pack a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
Excellent accommodation for our family of 10. Cooking facilities and crockery were plentiful. Wine glasses were sparse but sufficient. Food hamper provided was of a high standard and greatly appreciated. We took full use of the hot tub and sauna.Bbq was also used.The only negative is that when you are home for the day then you are home.The roads to the property are not for the feint hearted.Otherwise fabulous!!
Our Bracken Ground review: We have just had a wonderful week here, with our children, their partners and grandchild and of course the dog. It is a very special location, away from all hustle and bustle and totally private in addition to being very beautiful. The layout has been carefully designed and was a perfect fit for our family. It has been sensitively designed to blend with the landscape and the outdoor facilities were very much enjoyed. The welcome pack that was provided was very generous and gladly received. The quality of the property is good and its obvious that a lot of thought went into the planning and resourcing of materials, fixtures and fittings. The property was really clean, and all bedding and linen was of a good quality and very nice to have towels provided for outdoors. To make this place really sparkle, it could do with some light maintenance. I was disappointed to find that bathroom fans were mentioned in a previous review, there are still issues with them, maybe it is time for some new ones! Fundamentals like the kitchen knives need sharpening and we had at least 5 light bulbs that needed replacing but there were no spares anywhere. I wont list all the little niggles here, but we left a list with the cleaner, so I hope that these are addressed. It just needs a little TLC to bring back the polish. Visitors also need to come prepared for ticks they are prevalent in the Lake District. We thankfully had tick cards and they came in useful as three of the family picked up a tick and whenever we walked the dog, he picked some up, we got very used to spotting them before they bit. This property is special and unique in its location, and we would willingly return, although we do like to try new places, but we would highly recommend it.
This is a fantastic property in a wonderful location and we had a great week exploring the Coniston area. Highlights included ghyll scrambling in the gorgeous Duddon Valley, canyoning in Church Beck Coniston, biking in Grizedale Forest, visiting the Ruskin Museum to see Bluebird K7, climbing the Old Man and a glorious hike from High Tilberthwaite to Cathedral Cave at Little Langdale. It was great to have the wood burning stove and a plentiful supply of firewood as the weather was chilly despite being June. However, we needed to chop more kindling and so would have benefitted from access to an axe. We would happily have brought our own, perhaps we overlooked this advice in the description ?
Lesley
Perfect location beautiful time to go as the bluebell wood looked enchanting. Very well designed for optimal comfort and style . Very thoughtful welcome pack including bottle of wine and cake . We celebrated our 50 wedding anniversary there with the family so was a nice addition. Would highly recommend. Beautifully tucked away for calming holiday but close by to the beautiful lakes at Coniston and Windermere. Perfect
Zulqanin
Property was perfect, even better than the photos itself. Had everything and even more than what we expected. Honestly thinking of making this a yearly thing with the lads as its perfect place for a getaway
We love staying here and have done many times. Its spacious, clean, warm, quiet and the beds are comfy. The hot tub and sauna are great to relax in. Dogs are safe in the grounds. Its our favourite location to stay in with our dogs.
